Set Apart
Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the LORD am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine. —Leviticus 20:26 (NASB1995)
As saints of the Most High God, we are to be holy, set apart for sacred use, for we are the temple of the living God (See 2 Corinthians 6:16 & 1 Corinthians 6:19). We are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people… (See 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV) But know that the LORD has set apart the godly man for Himself; (Psalm 4:3a NASB1995) Instead of conforming to the customs and ways of the world, we are to live according to the culture of the Kingdom of God and follow the teachings of Christ, the living Word. “Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate,” says the Lord. “And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you. “And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” says the Lord Almighty. (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 NASB1995)
